“The spread offense in general is a pretty good offense, but I feel the one we’re going to run here is going to be a fast-paced offense, taking a lot of shots and being physical,” King said. “Running the ball downhill at people, just playing fast and playing free.”
The wideouts that are returning haven’t put up big numbers.
Are these the kind of wide receivers that he thinks can excel?
“No doubt, this team has a lot of talent,” King said. “Maybe recent years it hasn’t been an offense that showcases a lot of people’s abilities. We have people on this team to do that.”
With guys returning like Mark Pope, Dee Wiggins and Mike Harley, who does he think will be a star?
“Honestly all three of those guys have shown me something - all of them can run, run good routes. I’m excited to get the ball in their hands.”
The tight ends, Brevin Jordan and Will Mallory, will also have a big role.
“Having two great tight ends, I feel we have the best tight end room in the country,” King said. “Playing with those guys, tight ends are a quarterback’s best friend - third and short, red zone. I’m excited to play with those guys as well.”
